I wasn't even planning on approving my own team

[mention]insertnamehere[/mention] If we go a full cycle without an agreed upon team are we doing the usual Coup/Avalon/Resistance thing of automatically pushing a jury through?

In normal Resistance IIRC approval/disapproval votes are instant and until revealed, secret, so doing it in the style of a lynch vote is another disadvantage for us, since Criminals I guess could either wait to vote, not vote at all, or vote based on whichever way the wind blows.

[VOTE: Disapprove] aubergine

One other thing I remember from my days playing Avalon/Resistance is that the early rounds are pretty crucial. Pass/Fail scenarios tend to snowball in the later rounds.

Because I'm a grumpy old man and change is terrifying.


And also it used to be a much more offensive color and the word aubergine was offensively large.


It's better now, but again, I'm an old grumpy fucker.

God almighty I hate that tag.

Again probably the biggest tells will be once the mission/jury results start to come in.

I feel like this game is stacked against the civs in a pretty big way. Especially without a hammer mission.

Yeah that's one thing i noted when reading things over ,the lack of the usual power roles. Hopefully we'll be alright tho.

I played a bunch, but I can't remember an exact time frame of when it was. It was a while ago so it could've been 14, 15, 16, round about there.

Resistance/Coup speak for "jury"

Long Con wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:56 pm Ugh, then this round will provide no info because he didn't pick those players himself.

Not necessarily. I mean, we know he had no qualms picking a team that someone else suggested.

Typically approving a jury/team right off the bat, particularly one that you aren't on, is seen as suspicious. I got chewed out by the online gamers that I played with for doing that.

Golden wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:53 pm Wow, that happened fast.

Why are people disapproving? Question, why would we disapprove generally?

To grant other people the opportunity to be Head Juror (and submit their picks and provide more info)

Votes are public yeah?

It's tough cuz I don't want to spill too much of the beans and give criminals a leg up but it would be beneficial to get as many team nominations as possible.

Please clarify what you mean here.

Linki: Would anyone care if I turn off the linki for this thread, this is freaking annoying...

Seeing who people put on their team is very helpful, The more Head Jurors we can get to nominate teams, the more we can learn about who may be Criminal.

Who wants to be on the team?

You should nominate in numerical order.

Why?

Easy picks and we'll see who accepts/rejects an arbitrarily chosen team.

It's like mafia, and there are scumpeople. It just has a different set of rules/phases.

Mafia are trying to get people on the jury to sabotage it. We're trying to get scum-free juries. Most mafia strategies work? And based on the round results, we can POE pretty well.

Thats another thing, POE is key here, so its like... can't really call it too much until we get the Mission/Jury Result for R1.

OK So this is basically Avalon/The Resistance which is cool because I've played that a shitload online.
